Johnson ejected

True freshman cornerback Leonard Johnson was ejected just over 10 minutes into Saturday’s 31-28 overtime loss to UNLV.

Johnson was called for a flagrant foul after leveling UNLV quarterback Omar Clayton in the end zone. While Clayton was decelerating and running out of bounds, Johnson unleashed a hard shoulder check on the 19-year-old sophomore.

Clayton remained face-first on the ground momentarily but returned on the next series.

Johnson received a personal foul earlier in the same possession for engaging in contact after the play was dead.

NCAA rules state that because Johnson was ejected from the game, he will sit out the next one as well, against Kansas on Oct. 4.

Bibbs exits game, doesn’t return

Senior linebacker Michael Bibbs left the field with an apparent leg injury in the first quarter of Saturday’s game and did not return.

Bibbs came into the game with a team-high 24 tackles and two interceptions.

According to the Des Moines Register, he exited the locker room on crutches.
